The end is near, so another hint: This is a wooden building that is a house
of worship. 

Remember the previous hint that this is also a particular unique object, so
I am thinking of something like "the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris", not
just "a cathedral" (though if you asked, the answer to both of those would
be "No").

I think Q15 has been made moot by other qusetions and hints, but yes, even
parsing the question like your pseudocode the answer is "No".

Rewriting your code slightly:

(and
     (is-false "is a toothpick")                           ;[a]
     (is-true "is used to support the positions ..."))     ;[b]

The complete expression evaluates to TRUE ("Yes") only when subexpressions
a and b are both TRUE. Being a building, the target is not a toothpick,
therefore a is TRUE. So the value of the whole expression is the same as the
value of b.

However, b contains an abiguity depending on the meaning of "support".
Commonly we say that a table, bookcase, server rack, etc. support their
contents. Although an analogy can be made between these and a building and
its contents, we usually use words like contains, houses, shelters, stores
for the latter relationship.

Do we say, "The house supports the position of the sofa," or, "The garage
supports the car"? I don't think so, at least not commonly. Therefore I gave
expression b the value FALSE, giving the same value to the whole expression
and the answer "No".

I would not normally give a breakdown like the above to both parts of a
question asked in the form of a logical conjunction ("and"), but I made an
exception since the question is moot and the round is almost over.

Ah, a simple one.

Down to the wire, but I think you can guess it. You're very close.

A20: NO! 

Too bad! Almost close enough to taste.

I was thinking of a different Buddhist temple, Toudaiji, East Great Temple,
located in Nara, Japan. It is one of the largest wooden structures in the
world (THE largest until not too long ago). Construction was begun in A.D.
728. The main hall houses the world's largest bronze statue of Buddha.

 Ohh! unlucky! It was a toss up between the two temples. One the oldest wooden
building in Japan, and the other the largest. Oh for one more question! 
That was a good one papa! :)

Maybe we can wait for nydel to answer, but it is your shout, as they say.
